It's so bizarre 'cause you usually hear the opposite that you can remember a face but can put a name with the face, well, I can't put the face with the name. I'm really good with names but it takes me a while to remember a face- how sad is that? Like, my visiting teachers could come over and sit and chat for 2 hours, but then when I go to church on Sunday, I wouldn't be able to pick them out. It was awful when I was a receptionist because someone would come in and of course I'd get the name, but when someone would ask me what they looked like- I'd draw a blank. I could usually remember if they were male or female- duh, like the name doesn't give that away already, but no matter how hard I thought I couldn't remember if they were tall or short, big or skinny, bald or hairy. Unless of course some tall dark and handsome man came in- then I'm sure I'd remember him no problem. But really, I struggle! It blows Ryan away 'cause he's great with faces but bad with names. So, we kind of work with each other on that. One phrase I say quite often is "The name sounds familiar but I can't picture who it is" I can always remember if someone was nice or mean or loud or quiet, and if they're a John, Jared or George but it takes me at least 5-10 times of seeing them to really remember their face.
4. I just got done reading this book...It's a true story about a girl who escapes the polygamist lifestyle. It was so crazy but so good! I just feel bad that so many people get us, the LDS church, confused with the FLDS church. I can't believe some of the things that go on in their cult and am just so grateful she got away and hope other women will be able to as well. If you're looking for a good book to read I highly recommend it.
5. I'm sure a lot of people don't know this- but I'm kind of self conscious about my feet. I know I'm a weirdo, but I've always had them painted with toe rings trying to make them look their best. Ha ha! How sick am I? I love getting pedicures because they do all the work for me, but if for some reason I go a while without one and my nail polish starts to come off and I can't get to Lovely Nails to get my toes re-done, I have to do them myself 'cause I just can't stand looking at them. If we ever go somewhere and I have to take off my shoes I'm so paranoid if my feet are dirty or toenails are not painted and try to hide them either under the couch or blanket or something. Yeah I know, I need to get over it- no one cares what my feet look like, but I guess I do! So, I gave myself a little pedi the other day and thought I'd add some color to Sara's toes as well, what do you think?
6. And I guess the last random fact you get to hear is about what a scaredy cat I am. I seriously get scared so easily and when I get scared I have nightmares- to be honest, nightmares aren't half as bad now as they used to be because I don't wake up alone anymore. And the closest tough strong man isn't downstairs with my Mom, he's right next to me :) So, I have to admit, I don't get scared as easily with Ryan- but as embarrassing as this is to admit, I used to make a new year's resolution every year to go the whole year without sleeping in my parent's bed once! So, to keep that resolution, if I ever had nightmares, I'd sometimes sneak into my brother Ty's room... does that count? I'm not kidding- when I watched the movie "IT" I think I had nightmares for a week straight and had to sleep with my parents. (Keep in mind I was only 11) So, after a week my parents made us all say a prayer to help me sleep soundly and I went back to my own room with visions of scary clowns eating people. No really, I get scared so easily! If I had one wish I really think it'd be not to ever be scared ever again 'cause I really don't think there is anything worse!
... and there you have it- probably 6 of the most random things you'll ever hear about me!
Tag! You're IT! (ew creepy) I Tag Whit, Melissa H, Melissa E, Teisha and Lisa. Have Fun!
p.s. I hate how the first part of my post is single spacing then it goes to double, does anyone know why it does this and/or how I can fix it?

2 Months? I swear she is HUGE! In that pic Gwen's an absolute GIANT! Ha ha. I am carefully thinking of my 6 random things. Hmmm. This might take me a while. So funny Tor cause I am the same way about my feet, hiding them under Ty whenever we take our shoes off anywhere.
